D-borealis

I'm sure each kid is different but when we put our 2 and a half year old on a gluten free diet, her vocabularly actually doubled within weeks. With her the celiac disease has expressed itself almost entirely as neurological symptoms and I am certain gluten was delaying her speech. Best wishes!

Yes this also happened with my daughter. Unfortunately it hasn't improved and it's been 6 months.

We found out our daughter has celiac disease about 6 months ago and have made all the necessary changes in our diet. Eating gluten free has been a positive change for our whole family and we've enjoyed finding new foods to eat instead of bread, pasta, etc. Unfortunately I am having trouble keeping our grocery budget under control (especially difficult during...

I wouldn't rule it out! I am still amazed at how many annoying behaviors in my 3 year old have been resolved since going gluten free. Alot of them were behaviors that I just thought were "due to her age" but they have completely gone away (and come back if she eats something she shouldn't have!) An example that relates to your situation is that my daughter...

we saw improvements with our 2 year old within 2 days

I've used two brands one is prOatina and one is the Bob's red mill, both are certified gluten-free however apparently 20% of celiacs react to oat protein in and of itself and I think that is what's going on here.

Sounds exactly like my daughter, she also never complained of belly aches. Most of her symptoms were behavioral as well as her not having any appetite (perhaps nausea) and the dark circles/sleeplessness. I am so glad you may have found out how to help your son! It will change your life. The biggest struggle for our family is realizing and accepting that...

Purely by accident, I believe I have discovered what was causing my daughter's drunken symptoms explained in a previous post. OATS. We had been having certified gluten free oatmeal every morning for quite some time, and then just happened to run out. 3 days after not eating it for breakfast I realized the loopy behavior seemed to be diminishing. We are going...

I was wondering about this possibility too and I think I am going to bring it up at our next appointment with our naturopath. We have her on probiotics currently.

We got the results back from the urine analysis: everything was completely normal. Not sure whether to be sad or happy, the weird behaviors are still happening daily.

The only other symptom besides the "loopiness" is that she is literally constantly hungry (or says she is). I mean, she will eat a meal, and then 5 minutes later ask to have breakfast again (or whatever) and eat a whole bunch more food. ALL DAY LONG. Which is completely opposite of how she was with food before we found out about the celiac: back then she...

Went to see another doctor today and she suspects it is blood sugar related. We are going to do urinalysis over the next few days to see if anything turns up

I brought her in to our doctor a few days after it started happening and he didn't seem too concerned. He suggested hypo-glycemia related or due to exhaustion. After reading everyone's comments I feel like I ought to get a second opinion however. It does seem to always be worse in the morning, and then again it comes back before bedtime. Will keep everyone...

My daughter has been gluten-free for almost 4 months. For the most part her previous symptoms of clinginess, refusal to eat, frequent crying, etc. have resolved. There has been alot of trial and error as far as learning which foods are REALLY gluten free and which just say they are but we are getting better and better at eliminating all sources from her...

I am trying to pinpoint what has been causing reactions in my daughter over the last 2 weeks and I am down to Adam's peanut Butter. Our home is gluten-free so no chance a glutened utensil was double dipped into the jar. Apparently adam's doesn't have wheat in their facility but now I'm driving myself crazy wondering if the peanuts themselves were contaminated...
